Dear Andreas,
BECAUSE PGADMIN IS FREE SOFTWARE ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED FOR PERSONAL NEEDS
AND CONTRIBUTED TO THE PUBLIC AS GENEROUS DONATION, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE
ANYTHING, [TO THE EXTENT OF THE LOCAL LAW], ON THIS FINE PIECE OF SOFTWARE IN
TERMS OF USABILITY,FUNCTIONALITY OR FREEDOM OF DEFECTS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Thanks. This sounds much better. Let us just add "TO THE EXTENT OF THE LAW",
otherwise the sentence may be void in France (per previous court judgement).
> We should rise a fund to insure this Euro thing, don't you think? :-)
Absence of liability is not allowed in France and probably in several
countries. As a result, when starting Debian you can read 'Provided without
liability to the extend of the local law' (from memory).
But, defining a maximum amount if allowed. Defining a "One Euro" amount is
quite usual as it is a much better garantee than rejecting liability:
IN COUNTRIES WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE RESTRICTED, PGADMIN SOFTWARE
DEVELOPERS, CONTRIBUTORS AND ANY PARTY PROMOTING OR DISTRIBUTING PGADMIN
SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR MORE THAN ONE EURO FOR ANY DAMAGE.
Cheers,
Jean-Michel
